Commemorative French Rome Treaty

Issuance year - 2007, March

The coin depicted in the image is a result of my last coin exchange with Wendy. She sent me 22 coins, but about this one, who represents my 6th Treaty Of Rome, I must write "avec soupless", as it is from "République Française". It sure looks good in my collection, along with the other five. Muchas Gracias.

Issuing volume: 9.400.000

Great New Swap

Once again, 22 more coins for my collection. Who sent them? As you can see in the picture, it was Wendy from Netherlands.

Three magnificent commemorative coins - French and German TOR and also a German Schleswig-Holstein, two wonderful currency ones from Slovenia and the others seventeen are from Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, and obviously from Netherlands.
Thanks again.

Cyprus

In January 2008 the two newest Euro members, Cyprus and Malta, released their first official Euro coins into circulation. Cyprus chose to place the Mouflon, a native wild sheep, (the most characteristic specie of Cyprus), representing the island’s wild life on their 1, 2 and 5 eurocents, an ancient sailing ship, (the ship of Kyrenia - 4th century B.C.), on their 10, 20 and 50 eurocent and the ancient Idol of Pomos, a prehistoric fertility sculpture dating from about 3000 B.C. on their bimetallic 1 and 2 Euro coins. Once again, Rita (from Malta) sent me this splendid UNC set of Cyprus, in exchange of euro commemorative coins. Thanks a lot.

Commemorative Italian Winter Olimpic Games

Issuance year - 2006

The coin depicted in the image, results of an exchange with Francesco Prosperi from Italy. This very cool and magnificent commemorative Winter Olimpic Games and other 5 currency Italian coins were traded by the 2007 Portuguese Portugal Presidency of the European Union and 5 other currency coins.

This coin shows a skier racing, against a background of stylized graphic elements and an image of Turin's landmark Mole Antonelliana building with the inscription "Torino" below and also the words "Giochi Invernali" at the top right. Thanks, Francesco.

Malta

On 10 July 2007, the Council of the European Union approved Malta’s application to join the euro area on 1 January 2008. On 1 January 2008, the euro became legal tender in Malta replacing the Maltese lira. From 1 February 2008, only euro banknotes and coins can be used for cash payments in Malta.

A certain Rita from Malta, who needed the 2002 eight portuguese coins sent me this new, shining and wonderful 2008 UNC set in exchange for a trade. Thanks to her, now I only need someone from Cyprus for a similar swap.

The 1 and 2 € depicts the eight-pointed Maltese cross. The 10, 20 and 50 cent coins depicts the Maltese coat of arms, a shield with a heraldic representation of the Maltese flag, topped by a mural crown and bounded by two branches, an olive branch symbolizing peace and a palm frond representing the Maltese identity. The 1, 2 and 5 cent shows at the centre the altar at the prehistoric temple of Imnajdra (a Neolithic complex dating back to 3600 BC which is considered to be one of the oldest free-standing temple groupings in the world).

Commemorative Spanish coin - 2

Issuance year - 2007

Due to a swap with a "friendly galego neighbor" from Spain, I already have this Rome Treaty from España to be side by side with the Portuguese one. But I'm still missing all the other eleven Rome Treaty coins from 11 countries. Isn't there anyone from these countries interested in swapping those coins by the two Portuguese ones, Rome Treaty or Portuguese Presidency of the European Union?

Commemorative German Schleswig-Holstein -"D"

Issuance year - 2006

For me, once more and again from Germany, one of the most beautiful commemorative coins. The Holstentor, the gate symbolising of the town of Lübeck, is show in the center. The words “Schleswig Holstein” link the Holstentor as the depicted construction with the federal state. The outer ring of the coin features the 12 stars of the EU, the year of issue 2006. These €2 commemorative coins are to be minted in equal quantities by all five German mints.

30 millions have been issued and I have only this one with the letter "D" - Munich, in my collection. I need the other 4. Who want's to swap them for portuguese coins or others?

Commemorative Greek Olympic Games

Issuance year - 2004

In August 2004, the Olympic Games returned to the country where they were born over 2,500 years ago, and to Athens the city of their revival in 1896. So the Greeks have issued 35.000.000 of this commemorative and wonderful coin.

Unhappyly, at this moment only one coin is available to swap.
